Herd finishes in sixth
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The Marshall University swimming and diving team finished sixth at the conclusion of the Purdue Invite in West Lafayette, Indiana, on Friday.
"What a great three days for this group," Herd swimming and diving head coach Ian Walsh said. "I thought we did an exceptional job of capitalizing on our preliminary swims that put us in a position to compete and score in finals. We had the opportunity to compete against four of the top teams in the Missouri Valley and finished second among them."
"We had so many great swims tonight across all events, especially getting Paige, Jenna and Eszter into A Finals. Eszter and Madeline picked up right were left off today notching personal bests. Eszter is now third all-time in the 1650 and placed fifth overall at the meet. Madeline's 200 Fly sits ninth all time. Jenna Bopp had a phenomenal last day, making it into the A Final and swimming a 2:15.11 in the 200 Breaststroke that sits second all time in program history."
"We had 10 swims that were some of the fastest in program history. The team is in a great spot moving into our next training block and couldn't be more proud of what we've accomplish so far."
